    That is strange to me, we have some shallow lakes and its not unusual to catch nice crappie in january in a couple of feet of water, but I was assuming that that was happening because there was no depth to the lake, no more comfortable water temps to be found...apparently, my assumptions were not well founded. We have roaving schools of fish,,normally suppended at 10 to 15' and they are moving, catch one or two and they are gone. Earlier in the winter,,say a month ago,,we were catching some as shallow as a few feet deep....but not now.. Thanks for your reply.

    Interesting post.. my PB here was 14 1/2 this year so I'm of course now looking next year for the 15 but IMO you'd have to got to a large bodied and deep lake to find one that would live long enough to get that big here in the north. I have seem a few who've posted of 16's and 17's around the area here but no pics so I think they're catching white bass. Good luck to ya... that next half inch or so is what makes chasing craps so intriging to me (besides of course the good eats).

    My clients caught these today. Pic is our 4 biggest. Today was a mediocre day...Smallest of the 4 is 15 1/4, largest was 16 3/4 and weighed 3.1 lbs. Fish were 6'-8' deep 10' to 12' water.
